All young children who have one believing parent, from the time they were given life
in the womb by the Holy Spirit, until they are old enough to accept or reject
Jesus on their own, are kept holy by the Spirit.

*All
the days ordained for me were written in your bookbefore one of them
came to be. Ps 139:16 NIV+

*For the unbelieving
husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified
by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean,
but now they are holy.1Co 7:14 NKJV

There should be no fear if these young children should
physically die. They are children of God and there spiritual being, their soul
and spirit, are taken to Heaven.

*From birth I was cast upon you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God.Ps 22:10 NIV

*Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not
hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven
belongsto such as these." Matt 19:14 NIV+

We can have hope

We also have hope in the love and mercy of our Heavenly
Father for young children who die without a believing parent. Our Father has a
foreknowledge of those who will love Him, makes them His children, and will
take them to Heaven. This includes a parent who has become a believer, yet
while they were an unbeliever, had a young child die. This includes
grandparents, other relatives, any in the family of God, who have a young child
they nurtured in the love of Jesus die. All believers can have hope in the love
and grace of Jesus, that we will be united once more
in Heaven with the young child we loved so dearly.

*And the Lord
said, "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will
proclaim my name, the Lord, in
your presence. I will have mercyon whom I will
have mercy, and I will have
compassion on whom I will have compassion.

*who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,
through the sanctifying work of the
Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood: 1Pe 1:2 NIV

We must also realize

Yet we must also realize that God’s Word tells us that
parents’ attitudes, their sins, can carry over to their young children, and
those who are still in the womb. Making these young children go astray, unable
to accept Jesus as their Savior. And when these young children physically die,
their eternal spirit being descends into Hell.

*You shall not bow down to them or worship
them; for I, the Lord your God, am
a jealous God, punishing the childrenfor the sin of the fathers
to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, Dt 5:9-10 NIV+ Part of 1st commandment

*You show love to thousands but bring the punishment for the fathers' sins into the laps
of their children after them. O
great and powerful God, whose name is the Lord
Almighty,Jer 32:18 NIV+

*Surely you did not hear, Surely
you did not know; Surely from long ago your ear was not opened. For I knew that you would deal very treacherously, Andwerecalled a transgressor from
the womb. Isa 48:8 NKJV+

Children
of God should have no fear of death, for it is the fulfillment of our physical
lives. Dying is when our spiritual being, our soul and spirit, leaves our
physical body, and is called home by Jesus to live with Him in Paradise. We will also have the company of all who are in
the family of God, and have likewise been called home. And temporarily our
physical being, our body and mind, are put to rest here on earth.

When a child of God dies, they no longer will know any pain
and sorrow, only the joy of Heaven. The pain and sorrow comes to the loved ones
who are left behind, and the pain may seem unbearable, especially when a young
or unborn child has been taken home. Our sorrow can turn to frustration, and
sometimes our frustration to anger, when our hopes, our plans are destroyed
when our young child is taken home to Heaven, away from us. Even Jesus had
tears of sorrow when Lazarus died. Yet Jesus will comfort us with His love, as
we pray, talk, and meditate with Him. And the Spirit will show us the verses in
the Word of God, which will give us the answers to help us overcome our
grief.

We are children of God, and we know our real home is
awaiting us in Heaven. Nothing is dependent on how long we live on earth. We may
feel some are too young or important to leave us so soon. Yet our Heavenly
Father alone knows when and how to use our children to help complete His family
in Heaven, a family we will get to spend all eternity with. We must trust in
our God above all things, including the time each of us is given here on earth.

Our Father is also showing us how precious our young
children are to us. Why it is important for us to be one with Christ as we
bring children into the world, for we make them holy. Why it is important for
us to bring children up in a Christian home, so they can know Jesus as their
Savior throughout their lives, for we never know when Jesus will call any of us
home to be with Him.

We should always remember that we will have more than a
trillion years, we will have forever to spend with our children in Paradise. Yes we will miss having a few more years here
on earth with our children, maybe even 50. Yet 50 years compared to the
trillions of years we will have with them in Heaven, is like the blink of an
eye in time. When we feel despondent about a loved one who has gone home to
Heaven, including an unborn child we may not have met, we must think
spiritually, not worldly. We must remember we will have all of eternity to
spend with them in Heaven with Jesus our Savior and Lord.

Another help is to try and imagine what the child will say
when we meet them in Heaven.

“I am so glad to see you, and it was so easy for us to
spiritually recognize each other. It has been great living up here in Heaven, I
am always happy, there is no sickness or pain to be bothered with, and no
chores or homework to do. And Jesus has taken such good care of me, and I enjoy
being with him so much. There are many of our family and friends here to visit
with, along with all the other brothers and sisters in Christ whom I have met.
This is the best home we can ever have.”

“I am sorry we didn’t have more time to be together on
earth.But I am so glad you brought me to
the Lord. Jesus knew my name and gently took me in His arms while telling me my
job on earth was done.That is was now
time for me to come home to live with Him in Heaven.”

“I know that you were sad when Jesus called me home to
Heaven so soon, but glad that you were able to accept our Father’s will.For what is living another 50 years on earth
together, compared to living eternally with Jesus in Heaven.We will have more than a million, more than
even a billion years to enjoy Heaven with other.I can’t even comprehend this much time, but
no longer have to worry about it. For there is no time in Heaven, it’s just
forever.”

“I knew deep down with the faith you have in our God, you
would understand.And knew you would
never want to deprive me of any time I could have with Jesus.It’s so good to be with you again.Let me show you around our God’s great HeavenlyKingdom.”

I realize how my human nature has made me slow to complete
my Father’s work here on earth.That it
has cost me many of the blessings my Savior wanted to give me.But I know my Master still has a small quiet
corner laid away in Heaven for me. A corner that will give me joy beyond any
expectations that I could ever imagine. Do not play any sad or morbid music for
me after I am with my Maker.Just sing
praises to our Savior for His great love for us, which can save even such a
fool as I am.

We should never visit any Christian’s grave and look down at
their burial plot to give them last respects, to talk to them, or feel close to
them. They are not there. Look up to Heaven, that is where their residence is.
They have not left us behind. They are patiently waiting to rejoice with us
when Jesus calls us home to be with them in Heaven.

Remember also that through Christ we are all spiritually
one, whether we are here on earth or in Heaven above. Remember when we come to
the Lord’s Supper, as we eat the bread we receive the body of Christ. We are
united intimately with our Savior, with all believers on earth, with all in
Heaven, with our young child, who has preceded us to Paradise.
And receive the ultimate assurance that we are all in the family of God, and
someday will all be given glorified bodies to live in Paradise
forever.

We must prayerfully come to accept the Lord’s will. Meditating,
quietly talking with Jesus, so our will becomes His, His loves shows through
us. Utilizing the gifts the Spirit has given us to the best of our God given
abilities. Realizing that every day there is so much we can do which shows our
love for our God, our love for all people. Until Jesus calls us home to be with
Him, and we are united with all believers who have preceded us to Heaven,
including our young children whom we will dearly miss.

*For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord.
